So glad this was made!

These awful cases needed to be exposed more. What a well made, sad documentary! I'm originally from the area where all of these crimes took place and remember all of them. I remember working up at Mall of the Mainland when Laura Smither & Jessica Cain were abducted. It is so scary to think how many predators were in/around I-45 and the surrounding towns. Being from Santa Fe, I'm VERY familiar with all the locations, too. I hope this documentary brings in more witnesses & tips. It is deeply troubling the LC police lost that shirt that was found in the killing field. How incompetent!

I was born in Pasadena so know the area well, as well. Was born much later than the killings took place so I had no idea that they had even occurred until I found the documentary on Netflix.
I’m a true crime geek and thought the documentary was tremendously well done. I feel so awful for the families as the police were grossly incompetent in the initial portion of the investigation. I’m also glad that a spotlight has been put on the investigation and that the one gentleman (forgot his name) is still fighting for all the families who lost someone.
